Does anyone have some greek recipies? My host for the 22nd would like one.
 
Grecian Party SquaresThis is one of my favorite show recipes - the best part is you can cook the crust ahead when you get there - so the demo is just chopping and stirring! So quick & these are to die for. Good luck!

Does anyone have the recipe for this? I don't have All The Best yet.
 
Here ya go......One tip though....the sliced tomatoes look very nice on the pastry, but it is harder to cut. I found that chopping them is easier and it's still pretty.

The Meditterranean (sp) Chicken Cafe Salad is wonderful and it shows alot of products. It feeds alot of people and is relatively easy to prepare. Very, very yummy recipe. You might want her to take a look at to see if it is Greek enough for her.
